You're right, as I understand it myself, it's more about overcoming network burps, a major point of user friction. I guess local-first is not the exact term for what I'm thinking, which is that an app should not need the Internet to work, but it can add conveniences, foremost being able to get to your setup from another device. That's how some of my most used tools like to-do list and notes work. In this scenario, the server could be dumbly storing the data without understanding it, and the user could point to another data store. I'm generally a Postgres user not because I love SQL but because I hate drama. That said, my Pouch/Couch use case is fairly simple and probably well aligned with the intent so far and so the paradigm clicks for me.
